Wheel Refurb, BBS's with Pics!
« on: 27 May 2010, 22:58 »
Right guys, i had to show someone what i've been doing with my spare time for the last week!  :nerd:

Before:



Now, although I do abit of valeting trucks at work and even the occasional spray job, I never thought I'd do any like this!  :shocked:

So I scrubbed and scrubbed, the orbital sanded, attacked with the detail sander, then a drill, then some peek, and threw hours of my life at it! Sand blasted it too. Bit of etch primer here and there, and voila!  :rolleyes:

15 hours later...



Plus tyre...



And a comparison one...



So all I'm here for is a quick pat on the back, and some motivation to do the other 3, feel free to send me some? Anyone?  :grin:

Also, let me know what you think of my job, as of quality, and choice of colour?

Cheers guys  :wink:

Cheers! Some of these have kerb scuffs, nothing too major an to be honest they weren't too hard to do.
The worst bit was the piece of lip that's polished that faces in, if that makes sence?

You going for painted look or polished?  :smiley:

super job :afro:

wouldn't it have been easier to do all the processes at the same time? eg. all the sandblasting, all the spraying etc?
